Is it crazy to say that I had a dream about Marcella last night? I know I just met her and all but the dream seemed pretty real and I really really liked it. We were eating lunch together, walking together through the hallways...holding hands. Great. I don't have a crush on her I just find her very, very very very very pretty. Cute huh?

Waking up in a good mood on a Tuesday made my Mom's eyebrow raise. "Someone's in a good mood?" My mom questions me as she prepares my lunch. 

I shrug because I wasn't trying to make it obvious, "Not a good mood but rather energized." I say. 

"Okay. What are you going to bring for show and tell?" She asks. 

I pull out my object from my backpack, "Reggie!" I say showing my Mom my first ever stuffed teddy bear. 

My mom's eyes widened, "You're going to bring a toy to school? You don't think it's too childish?" She asks, handing me my lunch.

 I shake my head, "Nah. Show and tell in general is as childish as it gets. Besides, Reggie is like my first friend. I took him everywhere with me. Even when I got too old to take him places he still has a spot in my room." I say, putting the bear back in the bag. 

"Cute. Now get out of here kid, your breakfast is in your lunch." My mom says, smiling at me. "Thanks Mom. See you later."

The bus comes to a stop at the front of the school and I get out, walking into my school. I immediately scan the crowd in search of Marcella. I would look for my friends but Marcella is more important(sorry guys). 

"Looking for your girlfriend?" Spencer asks, standing next to me. 

I shake my head, not that I wasn't looking for Marcella but at the statement he said about her being my 'girlfriend'. "You know darn straight she's not my girlfriend. She's still practically a stranger to me." I say, looking around as I talk. "Have you seen her?" I ask Spencer. 

He shakes his head, "I just got here." He says. 

I sigh and assume she just hasn't arrived yet, so I go to our mini table with Spencer and we sit there and talk while we wait for everyone else. 

The rest of our friends show up and I still can't find Marcella. It made me worry a little, after what happened yesterday I promised that I would stay with her. Luckily, my stress went away after Marcella tapped my shoulder. "Marcella!" I say happily(and relieved) "Did you bring something for show and tell?" I ask. 

Marcella shows me a barbie doll with a blue dress, it looks like Cinderella. "This is Ella. She's my favorite toy. I've had her even since I was five. She's my first best friend." She says smiling cutely.

 I blush because I brought a toy as well, "She's beautiful. Let me introduce you to my first best friend." I pull Reggie out of my backpack. "His name is Reggie. He's my first ever toy. I don't play with toys anymore but Reggie will always be my favorite toy to play with." I say watching Marcella smile. 

The bell rings and I walk with Marcella and Benny to History. "So Marcella doesn't know any English?" Benny asks, looking at Marcella who is on the other side of me. 

I nod my head, "Yeah. She only knows Korean. Why? Do you want to ask her something?" I ask. 

"Not ask her something but can you introduce me to her?" Benny asks. 

"Sure!" I turn to Marcella, "Marcella? This is Benny. He's my friend." I say, and Marcella extends her hand out to Benny shaking his hand."Nice to meet you, Benny." She says. 

"I'm going to guess she said it's nice to meet me." Benny says and I nod my head because he's right. "Nice to meet you." Benny repeats what Marcella said to say it bad. Marcella smiles.
